Hezbollah Attacks Israeli Military Sites with Rockets and Drones

 

Lebanon’s Hezbollah has escalated hostilities on Lebanon’s southern border by launching rockets and weaponized drones at nine Israeli military sites. This coordinated attack comes in retaliation for an Israeli strike that killed a senior Hezbollah field commander. The group fired volleys of Katyusha and Falaq rockets at six Israeli military locations, with more than 100 rockets fired simultaneously. Additionally, Hezbollah launched attack drones at Israel’s northern command, an intelligence headquarters, and a military barracks. This drone attack, involving at least 30 drones, marks the group’s largest to date in the ongoing conflict. Tensions between Hezbollah and Israel have intensified since the eruption of the Gaza war in October, with both sides trading fire. Thursday’s attack is a direct response to the killing of the Hezbollah commander and follows at least eight previous retaliatory attacks on Wednesday.
